Biblical and Christian Counseling in 44677: Smithville, OH.

We are a staff of christian counselors and use the Bible as our guide in our daily lives as well as with our clients. We believe that God is the Creator of all things and has a special plan for each person, each marriage and each family. Many times we use examples and verses from the Bible to help a client learn how to work through their problems and am pleased to pray with a client if they desire.

My counseling approach combines proven clinical methodology with sound Scriptural principles. The Bible contains the basic elements of modern cognitive-behavioral approaches, and I find that, the more I read the Scripture with a counselor's eye, the more I see what a great therapist Jesus is! My clients benefit from my training in Christian counseling, as we incorporate spiritual tools such as Scripture, prayer, and meditation into the healing process. As my clients and I meet together, God is present, providing direction, power, and His healing touch to the work that we do.

While I respect all denominations or personal beliefs my clients have with a Higher Power, Christian counseling is a form of psychology with enormous benefits. It is much like regular psychological counseling but draws deeply from religious roots and guides the person seeking help to look deeper within their faith to better their problems. Christian counseling helps individuals resolve life issues and better their relationship with God. The added bonus and benefits of Christian counseling are that clients are more receptive to this kind of help and advice because it is infused with God's word. This is guidance that is sensitive to the client’s religious orientation.
